Lines that intersect at a right angle:
How does a point change when reflecting it across the x-axis?
What is (x,y) becomes (x, -y)?
How does a point change when reflected across the y axis?
What is (x,y) becomes (-x,y)
If triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF. Side BC is congruent to which side of triangle DEF?
What is side EF?
If you deemed two triangles similar based solely on the fact they had two congruent angles, you were a smarty and used the __________________ postulate.
The AA Similarity Postulate

A transformation that enlarges or reduces a shape.
Dilation

What is (3, -5)?
The flip of a figure over a line to produce a mirror image.
What is a reflection?

C) SSA
(Triangles don't have butts!)
Calculate the value of DC:
DC= 9
The name of Scrooge's dead business partner.
Jacob Marley
The Slide of a figure from one location to another
What is a Translation?
Write the rule for the following translation. (1,4) translates to (4, -3)
What is (x+3, y-7)?
Given this dilation, name the scale factor:
What is 1/2
What is the reason why these triangles are congruent?
SAS
Nicole wants to find the height of the school gym. She measures her shadow at .5 meters and the Gym's shadow at 3.6 meters. Nicole's height is 1.8 meters. What is the height of the Gym?
H= 12.96m (13m is acceptable)
"We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: Candy, Candy Canes, Candy corns, and______" (from the movie ELF)

Rigid motion means...
A transformation preserving angles and sides (rotation, reflection, translation)
Describe what happens to the point (4,5) when flipped across the line y=x.
What is (5,4)?
What happens when you flip the point (x, y) across the line y=-x?
What is (-y, -x)?
True or False: All triangles that have at least 2 of the same angle measurements will always be congruent.
What is FALSE:
They could be similar, but not always congruent.
Calculate the value of X:
What was Frosty's nose made out of?
A Button
"...a corn-cob pipe and a button nose..."
Explain the difference between congruent shapes and similar shapes.
Congruent: same size, same shape
Similar: diff. size, same shape
Explain this sequence of transformations in the correct order:
Translate 5 down, 1 left
Reflect over Y-axis
Reflect the point (6, 7) across the line y=-x.
What is (-7, -6)?
Why can't Angle-Angle-Angle be a valid postulate for Congruency?
Because it is possible for all angles to be congruent, however triangle side lengths could be different lengths therefore these triangles would not be congruent.
Prove or Disprove that the triangles are Similar:
Not Similar, sides are not proportional
